Michael Phelps may have won eight Olympic gold medals, but let's face it, that guy is a bony sissy boy next to the testosterone-fueled Mark Spitz, who cleaned up with seven Gold medals in 1972. He swam—
and he was hot. He's 59 today. Smoke
that, Phelps. Grrr!
And speaking of fine waterboys, meet Australia's Matthew Mitcham, who executed the highest-scoring dive in Olympic history last summer (a back 2½ somersault with 2½ twists blah blah). He's gay, he's out—and it took six damn months to secure a single corporate sponsorship. As liberal as Oz is,
me-sniffs-a-whiff of homophobia. In the March cover story in The
Advocate, he comes across as grounded, disciplined, smart, self-deprecating—and he's in a steady relationship. If spindly Michael Phelps can hawk everything from sammiches to shoes, what's holding back support of Mitcham? Anyway, this month he nabbed a deal with Oz telecom giant Telstra. Okay, enough talking; look at the pretty picture. More
here.
